Browse, typed read, confirmed writes
Allen-Bradley Logix over EtherNet/IP: symbolic browse, typed reads and confirmed writes, with a live watch path used in commissioning. Legacy PCCC covers MicroLogix, SLC 500 and PLC-5 class addressing.
PLC and device integration
Talk to the controllers you already have
Secure Sorter includes drivers for a wide range of programmable controllers and field devices, so a line is not forced through a single vendor's stack. Live writes are an administrator-controlled, audited capability, with safety and motor commands on a blocklist. Fieldbus protocols such as Modbus, EtherNet/IP and S7 are not natively encrypted — Electrol protects those links with network design and encrypted uplinks. Electrol commissions and tests the combination your site will actually run.

- Scanners, scales, printers
- Audited live writes, with blocklists
Multi-vendor freedom, with controlled live writes
Use the controllers you already have. Live writes are administrator-controlled and audited, with safety and motor commands on a blocklist.
S7, Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT
Siemens S7 communications, Modbus TCP, MQTT over TLS — including Sparkplug-style edge publishing where the project uses it — and an OPC UA client that prefers Aes256_Sha256_RsaPss SignAndEncrypt.
FINS, MELSEC, ADS, and more
Omron FINS, Mitsubishi MC protocol and Beckhoff ADS are in the platform, alongside DNP3 and BACnet/IP for utility and building work when a site needs them.
The devices around the divert
Industrial scanner connections — including Cognex, Datalogic, SICK and Keyence, plus a generic TCP scanner — scales including Mettler Toledo SICS, and label printers in the ZPL and SBPL families.
Audited, with blocklists that stay on
Live writes to a controller are an administrator-controlled, audited capability. Safety, motor and PLC-mode commands stay on a blocklist that cannot be turned off. An optional tag allow-list can further limit what may be written. Handshake tags are reserved for the gateway.
Present in the platform, proven on the project
Which drivers are used on a given line, and how they are tested, is part of Electrol's commission for that site. The list describes software that exists in the platform. It is not a vendor certification. Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP and S7 are not natively encrypted; Electrol mitigates with CIP Security where supported, a segmented OT network, a VPN or IPsec tunnel, or an edge gateway next to the PLC with an encrypted uplink.
Guarded commissioning writes
A one-shot Logix write during setup requires a preview, a short-lived confirm token, and an equipment acknowledgement. Those writes are for commissioning, not everyday plant control. Importing an L5X definition, browsing a controller or reading live values does not download a program to a PLC. Program download, firmware and run/stop remain in the vendor engineering tool.
Tell Electrol which controllers are on the floor
A short note on the family you have — Logix, S7, or something else — is enough to start. [email protected]
